An internal audit of finances at the Hurlbut nursing home in Brighton in 2010 uncovered theft of resident funds by a former office manager.

The case of Rochester resident Gloria Thomas, who was ultimately sentenced in November 2012 to five years' probation and restitution of the more than $22,000 she stole from Hurlbut, is one of thousands of instances across the nation outlined in an investigation by USA TODAY of nursing home residents having their savings pilfered by employees the facilities entrusted with their accounts.
